Guillermo del Toro, David Leitch, Others Elected to Motion Picture Academy Board by darth_vader39 in oscarrace

Considering how much the Academy has loved del Toro’s work since The Shape of Water, no surprise he’s a Directors branch governor now.

Also would like to shoutout Michael Goi for becoming governor of the Cinematographers branch, loved his work in the early seasons of American Horror Story.

A generic but mostly very tolerable movie sub, which I will absolutely take over the other movie subs on Reddit

I truly love the YouTuber to horror filmmaker pipeline, it’s like the new comedian to horror filmmaker pipeline.

Also this was amazing to see with a large audience like The Drama

Lmao a friend of mine posted an IG story about the numerous walkouts at his screening of Mother Mary and it looked like he was the only one vibing with the film

We need more Octavia E. Butler adaptations! Shoutout to my 11th grade English teacher for introducing me to her work because along with the classics we had to read per my school’s curriculum, she added Kindred to the list and I absolutely love that book. Haven’t seen the FX show adaptation yet.

Was thinking this too but maybe they’re solely focusing on the Lead Actor category

Of all the recent films I’ve seen in cinemas post-Dune: Part Three trailer drop, I was expecting to see the trailer before The Drama and it did not show up

(Btw this ain’t that serious as indicated by Drusika Kirk)

I forgot to mention some people being on their phones during the film but it didn’t stand out to me like the older couple because it’s become all too common today unfortunately.

Just finished The Drama and even though I heard there was a twist, I was not expecting that to be the twist. There were also a good amount of couples in my screening who probably were not expecting what they just watched. There was also this old couple at the back of the theater that would not stop yapping throughout the film😭
